“After Naam Shabana, I hope they make Naam Shukla,” says Anupam Kher

Baby was an instant success and Naam Shabana is showing promise. And Anupam Kher, who played the doom-and-gloom Shuklaji in both the films, would like to see a Naam Shukla next. Playing a tech wizard in both the films, the actor shares why he wants a full-fledged film on his character Shukla.

“Naam Shabana is one of a kind film, which has never been attempted before. A character from a film (Baby) being transformed into a full-fledged commercial film, this gives me an optimistic hope that one day they will also make Naam Shukla. I would like to know from Neeraj (Pandey) why Shukla wears a wig,” Anupam Kher said with a smile.

The 61-year-old says that Naam Shabana is an exciting concept and hopes it inspires other filmmakers to experiment with their films, “Neeraj is a fine writer. The script is very important. I’m sure it will do really well. We do compare films with Hollywood and they are our benchmark but I think we have our own take on films. We hope this film encourages people to explore more of such concepts.”
